영어

Yeats rarely wrote free verse, which was new and very popular in the early 1900s. He used various traditional rhymed verse, but interestingly he wrote not so many blank verse in view of the considerable number of his poems. In this article, first, Yeats’s idea about blank verse is examined based on his essays and letters, and then the characteristic aspects of poetic diction, syntax, tone and regular and irregular meters in alternate lines of his blank verse are studied in such poems as “Ephemera,” “Ego Dominus Tuus,” “In the Seven Woods,” and “The Second Coming.”
